Two private-jet operators early Monday announced news about their acceptance of cryptocurrency, raising yet again questions about the usefulness of digital currency both for luxury spending and everyday shopping.
Clearwater, Fla.-based Hera Flight said it has started accepting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies for charter flights. Meanwhile, Paramount Business Jets in Leesburg, Va., reported what it called a “notable increase” in the number of its clients relying on cryptocurrency to pay for flights, without specifying a number.
Paramount says it has been taking crypto since late last year, with Bitcoin and Ethereum as the most frequently used coins. It cites “lower fees” for acceptance of the coins compared to credit cards, and also points to what it calls the “enhanced security” inherent in blockchain transactions. Altogether, the company says it can accept more than 120 crypto coins.

Hera Flight meanwhile says it will now accept cryptocurrencies for both charter flights and memberships in its Jet Card program. Like Paramount, the charter company points to what it views as the added security of crypto transactions. “This initiative aligns with our vision to stay at the forefront of private aviation and provide more payment options to our customers,” says Jonathan Hollar, chief operating officer and co-owner of Hera Flight, in a statement.
Unlike the local general store, high-end travel options like chartered flights could be a potentially lucrative market for crypto, some experts say. “This appeals to people who have made a fortune in crypto and gives them something to spend it on,” says Aaron McPherson, principal at AFM Consulting.
For merchants unhappy about the cost of accepting credit cards—particularly for luxury purchases like charter flights—crypto could have considerable appeal, McPhersons says. “Merchants are always looking for a way to escape interchange,” he notes. Indeed, crypto “could be cheaper if the valuation doesn’t go down,” he says.

 What’s more, the crypto option carries the potential of offering a crypto-linked debit card, he says. “That’s a way people can spend their Bitcoin or Ethereum without going through the step of liquidating it on an exchange,” he adds.
But the volatility of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most other cryptocurrencies means most businesses, high-end ones especially, will likely investigate stablecoins, McPherson argues. “Stablecoins are more likely to become a mainstream payment method,” he says, This form of crypto is tied to the value of a national currency, such as the dollar, and so is not subject to the often extreme swings in value seen with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
While the potential crypto users in both of the jet-charter scenarios are not likely to be the average shopper, some observers note the moves by the two companies reflect confidence the coins they accept will not lose value, at least for the long term. Still, “if I were a business, I’d be going that route,” notes McPherson, referring to stablecoins.

Two lucky Canadian lottery players started the new year with more than just fireworks.
The Lotto 6/49 draw took place on January 1, 2025, and the Gold Ball prize was worth $10 million. Although no one won the jackpot, someone did win the guaranteed White Ball prize. According to PlayNow, someone matched the winning number 12959444-01, netting themselves an impressive $1 million prize. That lucky ticket was sold in Merritt, BC.
The winning numbers for the Lotto 6/49 Classic Draw were 02, 10, 13, 26, 35, 46, and 08, but no one won the $5 million prize. However, one lottery player won the second prize after matching five of the six winning numbers and the bonus number. As a result, one lucky winner from Quebec is now $199,316.60 richer.
 
 
A post shared by Atlantic Lottery (@atlanticlottery)

The third Classic Draw prize will be split between 68 lottery players, each receiving $1,230.80.
No one won the Classic Draw Extra prize worth $500,000 or the Encore prize worth $1 million.
The previous draw was a life-changing one for another lottery player.
On December 28, 2024, a Canadian lottery player matched the Gold Ball winning number 35353629-01. The winner won a life-changing jackpot worth $54 million, and the lucky ticket was sold somewhere in Western Canada.
Before that, the last time anyone won the Lotto 6/49 jackpot was on October 9, 2024, when six strangers from Quebec won the Gold Ball prize worth $32 million.
Loto-Québec
The group purchased a Formule Groupe ticket, which was a winner. As a result, each member is now $6.4 million richer. Read their full story here.
If you’d like to try your luck, the next draw is on Saturday, January 4. The Gold Ball draw is worth $12 million.

As traders and investors anticipate the beginning of April and the onset of the second quarter (Q2) of 2025, crypto airdrops present an opportunity to join promising communities while they are still on the ground floor.
This week, three notable crypto airdrops stand out as worth watching.
Walrus (WAL), a decentralized storage protocol on the Sui blockchain, launched its mainnet and token generation event (TGE) on March 27. The event coincided with South Korea’s Upbit exchange listing WAL.
The TGE saw Walrus distribute 4% of its 5 billion token supply via an airdrop. Eligible participants, including early Sui ecosystem users and testnet contributors, received Soulbound NFTs redeemable for WAL tokens. As April commences, 6% of Walrus tokens are reserved for future community rewards.
“At the moment 4% of the 10% tokens allocated for the airdrop have been distributed, so Walrus still has tokens to reward users,” Cryptorank.io noted.
WAL powers storage payments, staking, and governance, with listings on exchanges like Crypto.com and MEXC offering prize pools. The project’s airdrop comes after raising $140 million from Andreessen Horowitz, Standard Crypto, Electric Capital, and Comma3 Ventures, among others.
Meanwhile, Walrus’s market cap exceeds $573 million, reflecting strong adoption potential. Data on CoinGecko shows it was trading for $0.45 as of this writing.
Staking opportunities with validators like Mysten Labs or Nansen enhance rewards, but high commissions (up to 60%) apply. One of Walrus and Sui’s founders recently announced that users could stake WAL tokens to get airdrops. As this could mean airdrops from Walrus and projects from the Sui ecosystem, engaging with Sui dApps and testnets remains key for future allocations.
The project has raised up to $88.2 million from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, Coinbase Ventures, Accel, and Mechanism Capital, among others. Coupled with the fundraiser, Nansen has a valuation of $750 million.
Nansen, a leading blockchain analytics platform, confirmed an airdrop, drawing excitement due to its prominence and past reward patterns. The project launched a staking program and announced a point system in 2025.
“We’re excited to announce that we have acquired Stakewithus (SWU)! SWU is a non-custodial staking service provider with $80m+ staked by 30k+ users & supports 20+ chains You can now analyze data, monitor your portfolio, and stake assets in one place with Nansen,” read the announcement.
Users can stake assets (STRK and TRX), and points are expected to be credited retrospectively. Nansen also mentions the NSG token, so participants will most likely receive an airdrop for points.
Market participants should monitor Nansen’s social channels and partnerships for updates, as airdrops typically reward active users or data contributors.
With no token launched yet, any potential airdrop might tie into a future native token, likely incentivizing early adopters or premium subscribers. Given Nansen’s influence in the crypto space, tracking wallet activity and on-chain data, its airdrop could attract significant attention.
Participants should engage with its tools and stake in supported ecosystems to position themselves for unannounced opportunities.
This modular AI chain combines Layer-1 blockchain with decentralized AI, focusing on scalable Data Availability for AI applications.
The status of OG Labs airdrop stands confirmed, bringing forth an emerging player in the crypto space. This makes it a speculative target for market participants. It boasts up to $325 million in funds raised from investors such as Delphi Ventures, Hack VC, Animoca Brands, and OKX Ventures, among others.
The airdrop is potentially tied to Web3 innovation or NFT ecosystems (given the “OG” moniker). It follows models like Walrus, rewarding early testers or community members.
“There are new activities on the OG test network – we can request test tokens and make swaps,” Cryptorank.io noted.
The OG Labs airdrop requires no investment. Users can engage through OG Labs’ Newton Testnet, which tests-core functionalities like decentralized storage, consensus, and data availability services. Participants must complete at least 20 transactions, stay active for three days, and interact with features like swaps, storage scans, and NFT minting.
“Interact with the OG Labs Testnet and Become Eligible for the Airdrop,” crypto researcher Guatamgg stated.
Additionally, users can boost eligibility by taking Discord roles such as OGurus or OG Role. These activities involve community contributions and verification steps. This airdrop targets active ecosystem participants, aligning with OG Labs’ emphasis on community-driven development.

The Bitcoin market has been initially sold off in the early hours of Monday, as the market continues to look to the rest of the financial markets for risk appetite to improve.
Bitcoin
Bitcoin initially pulled back a little bit deeper during the trading session on Monday, but we have turned around to show some signs of life. I think at this point in time, Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere one way or the other. I think we’re going to stay in this range and those who are quick enough might be able to take advantage as they occur on these little dips. That being said, I don’t necessarily think that Bitcoin is going to take to the upside very strongly either. I think we’re trying to form some type of range with the $75,000 level being an area that’s significant support, and the $90,000 level above being an area that’s significant resistance.
We are currently right around the $82,000 level. So, we aren’t quite in the middle of it, but we’re pretty close. So, I think at this point in time, you’re basically at fair value. For myself, I’ve been dollar cost averaging into this pullback, but this is just a tiny amount weekly. It’s not something I plan on trading. It’s an investment, so it’s not such a big deal. But for those trading this market, you have to be aware of this potential range that we are forming.
And as we are in the middle of this range, there isn’t a whole lot to do at this point in time if you are more short-term minded. You should keep in mind that risk appetite is going to be everything here, and right now, the only thing I can say about risk appetite is that it’s been ran over.
